Logo Requirement?

[Mark Newton]

Bill, loving the Elite theme – great job!

Is the logo a requirement? I would like neither a text nor logo to load for the home page (or any other page).

Deletion of the logo under Appearance>Theme Options>Header appears to either require a text entry or logo image. Deleting the image with no text entered appears to break the hero image load by not displaying it for the home page.

I added text to see if this corrected the broken hero image (not displaying). Adding text does indeed add the text, but does not correct the previously working home page hero image loading.

Please advise? Thank you very much! Mark

Good Afternoon Mark,

I’m glad you’re enjoying the theme. Great question too. Here’s what I would suggest doing.

1. Go to the Theme Options page and choose the text logo option.
2. Then go to the Advanced tab.
3. Scroll down to the Custom CSS box and paste this:

   
   #logo,
   #text-logo {
   	display: none;
   }
   

4. Update your settings.

That will set the logo to be text, which will keep a missing file from slowing down any browser rendering. It’ll then hide the text so it’ll be out of your way.

If you run into any trouble, let me know.

Thanks,
Bill

Thanks Bill! That definitely took care of the “missing” logo and additional file hang-up for loading; however, the home hero content is still failing to load.

I don’t see the relationship between a CSS set to none for the logo and how that has affected the homepage hero pic? If it helps, I did load the demo assets in order to “play” with the theme but have not performed other code or CSS tweaks (other than what you have pointed to here – which did work of course). The break happened after removing the point to your logo image (at the URL that was there – http://demo.organizedthemes.com/elite/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2013/10/elite.png).

Please advise? If you need anything, let me know. Thanks a million Bill. Mark

Thanks for letting me know that you loaded the demo content. WordPress will keep the “format” in exports for posts, but it does not for pages. So those will need to be set manually.

What you’ll want to do is edit the home page and look in the right hand column for the “format” box. Choose image there and then update your page.

See if that won’t bring up the hero image on the home page. If it doesn’t let me know and if you can send over a link to it so I can take a closer look.

Thanks,
Bill

PS – I had set the Home Block Attention Widget to display centered using CSS under the Advanced tab. Obviously, putting your CSS in there moved the widget back left because I overwrote it…I would like it centered but I doubt you advise me working in the Editor. Sorry to be “needy” so quickly :/

[Bill Robbins]

Mark,

I’d be glad to help out with centering the attention widget. Could you send over a link so I make sure to send back the correct CSS for you?

Thanks,
Bill

The hero image for the home page was already set to Gallery and was working prior to removing the logo image URL that came over in the demo import. It is still set to Gallery and the image is in the bottom-right as the Featured Image.

If you want/need, I can set you up. Just let me know.

Thanks for sending over the link Mark. I took a look and it appears that there are no slides showing up thereat the moment. Do you have a slide group selected that has slides published in it?

[Mark Newton]

I did but instead chose it this time as an Image rather than a Gallery and updated it again. It stuck. Can’t tell you what the hiccup was but we are a go Houston.

If you can help with the centering CSS, we would be all closed up. Thank you again. I apologize for the chase.

I’m glad you’re image is back in business again. Here’s how to center align the text in the attention widget:

1. Go to the Theme Options page and select the Advanced tab.
2. Scroll down to the Custom CSS box and paste this:

   
   .attention-block h3 {
   	float: none;
   	text-align: center;
   }
   

3. Update your settings.

See if that won’t take care of it for you. If it doesn’t, let me know.

Have a great night,
Bill
